HMmmmmhhh its cool how perception matters so much in your attitude to life.
I've been struggling to decide whether to buy the adidas predator or try and borrow one from my friends, but my intuition (or common sense? hmm...) has told me not to buy it but try to borrow. If i can't borrow the boots, i can always ask for the predator street football shoes from weijie hohummmm!!
Wincoln told me he thought kuang yue had and gave me his number. I called kuang yue and he said he didn't. Then when i hung up, he called me again and told me he thought samuel had an adidas predator, but wasn't sure if it were the boots type. So i called samuel, who had the adidas predator, but the shoes and not the boots. I hung up, and after 5 minutes or so, i received an sms by either kuang yue or samuel that he thought ronald and aran had, Ronald was lending his pair to wincoln so the option was aran. I asked aran whether he had, but he didn't.
Ahha, i could see that life was so mean as to give me multiple hopes that end up crashing. But if i switch my perspective, i'd be able to see that i have friends willing to make the extra effort to call me up a second time to offer me an alternative, and sms me too. Oh ho, i shall look forward and see what happens then.
Recently watched the 2005 cl finals liverpool vs ac milan, and that burning passion flooded back into me. I was reminded that miracles do exist, that if you fight and play your hearts out, you will get what you deserve! Walk on, with hope!
Stevie G is truly our captain marvel, but i loved the passion i saw in smicer too. When he scored our second goal, his face was contorted with emotions that cannot be expressed in words. I could see he so wanted to get the strike in for liverpool, that it meant so much to him. And when he took the decisive penalty, he scored, kissed the liverpool badge on his shirt violently and pumped his arms in joy. Then i see carragher sliding repeatedly, fending off the ac milan attacks, stretching his tired, cramping legs over and over again. Whenever there was a threat, he was there to clear it to safety. Liverpool lads through and through, YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE, COME ON YOUR REEEEEEDSSSSSS!!!
Ohhooohoooooo, i used to be very blur and undecided on how the universe works but its coming clearer to me now. I think that in some way, our lives will be determined by what we have at birth. That doesn't seem to be something we can consciously control. Then for the rest of your life, you have to work at what you want, and have the belief in yourself. Fate, the universe, or some sort of higher being will aid you along the journey. It will give you signs to boost your morale, your motivation to work and work. It will offer your opportunities that you'd normally brush off, opportunities that you missed BECAUSE you didn't believe in yourself. And the rest, is up to you to work for and trust and give your best shot at whatever you want to do.
I read up on this concept of intention and manifestation, that is that you give out an intention and the universe will help manifest it. For me, i believe in it because i've seen signs of it happening. The last post where i described my experience was the clincher for me. But i do not believe you can get what you want simply by thinking of it. Something tells me that part of the manifestation process is in you believing in yourself and hence, being willling to work hard towards it.
There are two choices. A life you are contented with, and a life you are happy with.
YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE.
